Co-create in a team

Definition

Contributing effectively to collective creative projects, then coordinating them: distribution of roles, a culture of feedback, working rituals, shared documentation. Collective creation obeys learnable rules, which turn a sum of individuals into a common work.

Components

• Roles and responsibilities: who decides what, who does what, who signs off
• Feedback: giving useful, precise criticism, receiving it without bristling, sorting the responses
• Rituals and tools: progress checkpoints, shared spaces, common conventions
• Versioning and documentation: keeping a record, allowing someone else to take over
• Coordinating heterogeneous contributors: peers, freelancers, suppliers
• Handling creative disagreement: deciding without crushing
